First of all. This is not an insult to the web developers. I live in Nepal where most of the job vacancies are for fronted/backend developers. Even through referees I only get web dev related roles for intern. Every path leads to rome here.

I have no other interests except linux, scripting and web scraping and that’s a big problem. I really have no idea what I should learn or make. I am in my final year and I am feeling this sense of urgency which is annoying and overwhelming.

What should I do? I want to learn about Linux and OSes in depth but I also need to be employable. Also, after getting a job how do you learn new things. Since your job will be taking a huge chunk of your time. Education is a scam and I am a removed.

    I enjoy being a linux sysadmin. I still do some web full stack, but largely for my own team and I have full autonomy over what tools I use. Can’t be many other people writing websites in perl today.

      Haha ‘perl’, isn’t it a scriptting language? I wish I could choose which tools I get to use. Do you work for a startup?
